More communist dribble.  A 'blueprint' to provided by whom?  The ruling elite of course, to whom the cream of the crop will be claimed as their own.

Communist dribble.

Amen! ;-)

There is no way to legislate morality without tyranny.  'Prejudice' is merely a personal opinion treated as fact.  All of us are capable of being prejudicial, and all of us are capable of overcoming it.  Ignore it at your own peril.  I don't believe everything that comes into my head — I do endeavor to discern rightly, honestly and compassionately.  It is a personal moral code — a path and the way to Truth and Happiness. 

Excellent, thank you.

It is the Truth that sets one free, so ...

Is Fred trying trying to qualify for the most stupid questions ever asked?  He definitely has my vote.

Fred demonstrates perfectly the cognitive dissonance of a collectivist mind that cannot conceive of an independent, self-determining individual in fellowship with other self-respecting people who value their freedom more than their security in a school of fish.

It is the duty of the People to keep the 'State' in check.  The Constitution and Bill of Rights is the rule book for the government, not the People.  We the People formed a republican form of government which is subject to the rights of man.  A statist form of government makes all men subjects to the rule of the State.  Learn the difference, otherwise become a slave to the usurpation of the State — which are merely other men claiming dominion over you.

Hear, hear! ;-)

Reston, your public education is showing.  The founding fathers declared independence from the monarchical State and formed a union of sovereign States based upon a republican form of government, not a statist form.  Knowing the difference makes all the difference ...

Sorry, Fred, Marxism (classless society ruled by an 'unselected' few) is the bane of creativity and innovation.  Humankind are naturally classified by their birthplace, their culture, traditions, values, skills, interests, intelligence, awareness, and literally an infinite variety more.  'Classless' is the erasure of individuality, of self, of difference of opinion, ideas, resolve.  Are you saying you have no class?

Fred's catch phrase of socialism means nothing.  He's been harping on that since day one as some sort of cornerstone to wisdom — it's not.  It's certainly not a true definition of socialism.  Just another example that those espousing socialism suffer from cognitive dissonance.

Fred, socialism doesn't create anything, people do.  Socialism appropriates the creation and says "mine."  The vision of socialists is to engineer society, to rule over "the conventional populace."  Such egomania is the source of political oppression wherever it is found.  Fred, you ARE a socialist.

Keep the 'thinking wrongly' part in context.  Hypatia starts with "Reserve your right to think" — that is the crux of the message.  And yes, we will sometimes think wrongly, but at least we have the right to think.

For me, all of life is a dialogue.  Every thought, word, and action has a response.  If my true intention is to know the truth of the matter, I will listen and learn rightly.  How do we even know the truth when we hear it?  Whatever 'is' already is, it is just a matter of realizing.  In a world of deception, it is the lie that must be known as untrue.  The truth is revealed.

Yes, a thinking person keeps thinking.  In the search for truth, even the 'answers' need to be questioned again once in a while.

The People need only to reassert their sovereignty ... and throw off the private Federal Reserve System that holds every state in indentured servitude.

True for the Canadian provinces as well.  All were established as sovereign commonwealths with gold as currency.  Quebec still has a National Assembly, always has.  The Crown still lays claim to the USA as well, that doesn't make it so...

Nature's God is self-evident to those who do not wish to act like gods and rule others.

Who is surprised that Fred the Socialist is a government supporter?

Twain was a classic liberal, not a social democrat.  Liberals are liberal no more...

Remember, it is the Truth that sets you free. 

If free thought leads to falsity, it cannot ever lead to true liberty.  While knowledge is power, only the truth can free us from the bondage of lies and falsehood.  Know what is true, that is the way to true liberation.

The most ignored aspect of a republican form of government is the individual's AGREEMENTS — his/her signature.  Legally speaking, we are bound to pay taxes to the government because we AGREED to in writing.  Your signature binds you. 

Same for traffic codes — you are bound to them when you agree to a driver's license or when you transfer ownership of your car to the State and become a 'beneficiary'.  As such, you are no longer the owner of the car but have granted it in trust to the State and have received a 'title' for its use.  You are then liable for following all the rules and ordinances because those are the conditions of using the car now put in trust with the State.  Read your title — you are a beneficiary, not the owner.

There are LOTS of 'laws' like that which do not apply to you until you have signed on the dotted line.  Read the fine print.  In a republic, you are sovereign and held to your word because you ARE sovereign.  Otherwise, government could make up all kinds of 'laws' and you would be automatically bound because you are NOT sovereign but a subject.

Little by little, colorable law has usurped the common law, and generations have forgotten who they are.  Power is now assumed by government officers with the ignorant masses playing along.

Also, a little known fact, only real money (gold and silver) can purchase property or discharge a debt.  Using Federal Reserve Notes (promissory notes, i.e. IOU's) do not actually pay for anything, they merely transfer the equitable interest and liability.  The real owner is the maker of it or the last one who paid for the thing with real money.  Like a mortgage, you do not 'own' your property until the debt is paid off.  Funnily enough, you STILL don't own your property because you have merely traded IOU's for title to property.  

With a fiat money system, the banks own everything 'purchased' with their commercial paper.  Thus, the reams and reams of commercial law written governing these notes applies to those who use them — like income taxes.

Trades using gold, silver, crypto, barter are not actually taxable — unless of course you agree that they are when you sign your tax return.  Public/government schools will NEVER teach you true common law and your personal responsibility to keep yourself free from obligations to the bank (pretending to be the State, that's why they call themselves governors).

Ignorance of the law is no excuse.  Servitude is still the biggest racket in the world, even in America.

I love this quote!  I refer to "maddening claims" frequently when making an argument for liberty, independence, and self-reliance.  Somehow the socialists seem to think that without the state's claims upon our person, property, and labors, society would fall.  Quite the opposite in every respect. 

It is the socialist that is selfish, laying claim to what is not his, that depends on the state for his welfare, in which everyone is either an 'expert' to be obeyed or a sheep to be shorn.  Talk about "maddening" ...

Why will a person lie?  If nothing is true than a lie would be unnecessary?  It is just more of the same racket to say that 'anything' can be true.  Usually spoken in defense in order to place the onus on the one being lied to to prove it.

Changing the meaning of plain language is used to make lies sound true and veil the truth.  A purposeful lie is proof that there is real truth.

"Did you eat that cookie?"  Either you did or you didn't.  If you did and you say 'No' you are lying.  The truth is simple, only liars (who eventually believe their own lies) say the truth is whatever you believe is true.

Is it so surprising then that it is said by the wise that this world is one of delusion?  Start first by telling the truth, and look to why you lie.  Ever the path grows narrower...

What is the truth?  Whatever people purposely try to cover up with lies.  Start there, the big picture is revealed piece by piece.
